Nov06【每日活水】神会负责到底

申命记18：1~14

祭司当得的分

1「祭司利未人和利未全支派必在以色列中无分无业；他们所吃用的就是献给耶和华的火祭和一切所捐的。

2他们在弟兄中必没有产业；耶和华是他们的产业，正如耶和华所应许他们的。

3祭司从百姓所当得的分乃是这样：凡献牛或羊为祭的，要把前腿和两腮并脾胃给祭司。

4初收的五谷、新酒和油，并初剪的羊毛，也要给他；

5因为耶和华－你的　神从你各支派中将他拣选出来，使他和他子孙永远奉耶和华的名侍立，事奉。

6「利未人无论寄居在以色列中的哪一座城，若从那里出来，一心愿意到耶和华所选择的地方，

7就要奉耶和华－他　神的名事奉，像他众弟兄利未人侍立在耶和华面前事奉一样。

8除了他卖祖父产业所得的以外，还要得一分祭物与他们同吃。」

不可随从异邦的恶俗

9「你到了耶和华－你　神所赐之地，那些国民所行可憎恶的事，你不可学着行。

10你们中间不可有人使儿女经火，也不可有占卜的、观兆的、用法术的、行邪术的、

11用迷术的、交鬼的、行巫术的、过阴的。

12凡行这些事的都为耶和华所憎恶；因那些国民行这可憎恶的事，所以耶和华－你的　神将他们从你面前赶出。

13你要在耶和华－你的　神面前作完全人。」

应许兴起先知

14「因你所要赶出的那些国民都听信观兆的和占卜的，至于你，耶和华－你的　神从来不许你这样行。

Offerings for Priests and Levites

1The Levitical priests—indeed, the whole tribe of Levi—are to have no allotment or inheritance with Israel. They shall live on the food offerings presented to the Lord, for that is their inheritance.

2They shall have no inheritance among their fellow Israelites; the Lord is their inheritance, as he promised them.

3This is the share due the priests from the people who sacrifice a bull or a sheep: the shoulder, the internal organs and the meat from the head.

4You are to give them the firstfruits of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the first wool from the shearing of your sheep,

5for the Lord your God has chosen them and their descendants out of all your tribes to stand and minister in the Lord’s name always.

6If a Levite moves from one of your towns anywhere in Israel where he is living, and comes in all earnestness to the place the Lord will choose,

7he may minister in the name of the Lord his God like all his fellow Levites who serve there in the presence of the Lord.

8He is to share equally in their benefits, even though he has received money from the sale of family possessions.

Occult Practices

9When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there.

10Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft,

11or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead.

12Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you. 13You must be blameless before the Lord your God.

The Prophet

14The nations you will dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery or divination. But as for you, the Lord your God has not permitted you to do so.

内容观察

1.摩西说，无份无业的利未人要靠什么生活?(1~2节)
2.摩西说，神憎恶什么类型的人?(10~12节)

思考与默想

3.为什么摩西吩咐以色列百姓不要效法迦南民族可憎的行为?

个人感受

4.摩西说，百姓的心思不在于占卜、行法术等这些异教习俗，而是在于神，对此你有何感受?

决心与应用

5.你可曾倚靠神以外的事物来尝试预知未来?

6.为能不倚靠这些方式，而是倚靠神来得到未来的保障，你要决心如何改变自己?

耶和华是他的产业(2节):其他支派有土地作为他们的产业，但对利未支派而言，只有神是他们的倚靠。
使儿女经火(10节):一种迦南人当地的火祭，把儿女当作祭物，献给外邦神祗摩洛。
施符咒的(11节):指可以向人施咒或施法术的巫师。
招魂的、行巫术的和求问死人的(11节):用召唤已死之人灵魂的方式来行神秘之事。

灵修指南

摩西在这段经文中，提到给利未人的生活保障，以及禁止外邦人那些可憎的异教习俗(1~14节)。摩西指出，那些在圣所专心服事的利未人，并不会从土地的分配中得着产业，而是神亲自成为他们的产业，神承诺会对他们负责到底(2节)。此外，摩西也警告以色列百姓，不要效法外邦人的异教习俗，特别是不要效法他们用占卜的方式来预知未来的吉凶祸福，而是要专心倚靠神，让神成为他们未来的保障。因为当时的外邦人为了这些虚妄的保障，甚至把自己的儿女当祭物献给那些外邦神祗(10~11节)。作为神的百姓，你我要单单相信这位为我们负责到底的神，当放下对现在和未来的担忧，离弃那些虚假的倚靠与神所厌恶的事，成为祂忠心的儿女。

内室祷告

当对未来的担忧笼罩我心时，求神让我明白祢才是真正的保障。
